AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
959 AM EDT WED JUL 2 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK OR 2 WITH
THE FREQUENCY OF SHORT EPISODES OF THUNDERY WEATHER CONTINUING AS JUNES
UNSTABLE WARM PATTERN PERSISTS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SUMMER
PATTERN FEATURES THE CONSTANCY OF A WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH PRES SYSTEM
DAMPENING OUT APPROACHING COLD FRONTS SPUN EASTWARD BY THE SOUTHERN
CANADIAN JET STREAM AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRES SYSTEMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
PATCHY FOG HAS BURNED OFF ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

IR SATELLITE SHOWING BATCH OF MID-HIGH CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE
REGION IN THE SW FLOW. EXPECT THESE CLOUDS TO QUICKLY SHIFT NE WITH
STRONG UPPER FLOW.

OTHER THAN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM MOVING ACROSS WESTERN
CONNECTICUT...STORMS WILL GENERALLY WAIT FOR A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE
DEVELOPING.

SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN IN GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS. ALL ARE SIGNALING THE CHANCE OF SHWRS/TSTMS TO REDEVELOP
ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE A BIT FURTHER
E THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE REMNANTS OF THE
SURFACE FRONT OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN MASS. WATER VAPOR SATELLITE AND
H4 STREAMLINES SHOW THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE APPALACHIANS THIS
MORNING...AND THIS SHOULD HELP TRIGGER THIS ACTIVITY AS THE TROUGH
FINALLY SHIFTS ACROSS THE REGION. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ALSO INDICATE
DEVELOPMENT...WITH LIS IN THE -2 TO -3 RANGE...TTS IN THE LOWER
50S...AND K INDICES AROUND 30.

HAVE INCLUDED CHANCE POPS WITH WORDING OF GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL
STARTING AROUND 17Z OR SO. FEEL BEST SHOT WILL BE FROM E CT-CENTRAL
AND NE MA...THOUGH CAN NOT RULE OUT STRAY ACTIVITY EVEN INTO E
MA...RI /INCLUDING THE BOS-PVD CORRIDOR/ AND S NH. MAY NOT BE AS
NUMEROUS AS YESTERDAYS ACTIVITY...BUT STILL ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE
FORECAST. SPC MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS IN
THEIR CONVECTION OUTLOOK. WILL MENTION THIS IN OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK THIS MORNING.

APPEARS THAT THE UPPER TROUGH WILL FINALLY PUSH ACROSS THE REGION BY
AROUND 00Z OR SO.

TEMPS WILL TOP OFF IN THE 80S...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A
90 DEGREE READING OR TWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...ANY LEFTOVER CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE WITH SUNSET...
EXPECT TO END BY AROUND 03Z. OTHERWISE...EXPECT A PARTLY CLOUDY
NIGHT. WILL STILL BE RATHER MUGGY...SO HAVE ALSO MENTIONED PATCHY
FOG TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS WIDESPREAD AS THIS
MORNING. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL AGAIN BE IN THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE APPROACH OF A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT
FOR THURSDAY. BELIEVE WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CHANCE FOR MANY GUSTS 50
KNOTS WITH THE NARROW LINE OF SCT TO BKN CONVECTION ATTENDING THE FRONT
BARRELING INTO A HOT AIRMASS THAT HAS ITS OWN PRE CONVECTION GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO 30-35KTS.

THURSDAY APPEARS TO BE A HOT DAY THAT WILL FEATURE WIND.

CONTINUITY WITH PREV 4PM TUE FCST EXCEPTING RAISED POPS SLIGHTLY IN
NW MASS FOR THE LATE DAY LINE...THIS IN LINE WITH 21Z SREF POPS.

PLS SEE SPC DAY 2 DISCUSSIONS ON THE SUBJECT OF SVR. SOUNDINGS HAVE
40+ KNOTS 10000 FT.

OVERALL...LOOKING AT A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON THURS...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE CWA.
HAVE HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELY POPS LATE THURS AFTN INTO THURS NITE FOR
THIS AREA. GIVEN THE KINEMATIC AND THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES THAT ARE
PRESENTLY MODELED...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THURS
AFTN AND EVENING...WITH THE BEST CHANCES TO THE WEST OF I-495 AND
NORTH OF I-84. CONTINUED HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS FOR MUCH
OF THE AREA FOR THURS NIGHT. WIND FIELDS VERY STRONG AND AM IMPRESSED
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR BOWS IN UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW. THIS LOOKS LIKE
A BIG WIND DAMAGE DAY FOR A PTN OF SNE IF CONVECTION FIRES AS
ANTICIPATED. MORE LATER.

THE 4TH OF JULY FORECAST NOT YET FIRM SEEMS TO BE RESOLVING. HAVE
LEANED THIS FCST TO THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES DESPITE THE PERSISTENTLY
DRY OP RUNS OF THE EC. UK IS A LITTLE WETTER AND PROX OF THE FRONT AND
IMPENDING OVERRUNNING HAS ME NOT WANTING TO PROMISE A RAINFREE AFTERNOON
AND EVE FOR JULY 4TH. THIS COULD STILL END UP MORE OPTIMISTIC - DRY BUT
FOR NOW...TRENDED WETTER AND SOONER. CONFIDENCE AVG.

FRI NIGHT AND SAT...SEEMS CERTAIN TO BE SHOWERY AT TIMES WITH THE BETTER-
DRIER DAY OF THE WEEKEND FAVORING SUNDAY. THUNDER IS POSSIBLE. COULD
BE QUITE A BIT OF RAIN /1-3 INCHES/ BUT NOT PLAYING THIS PART OF THE
HAND QUITE YET.

DAYTIME TEMPS FRI AND SAT MODIFIED DOWN SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE SOMEWHAT
WETTER SCENARIOS FCST WITH DAYTIMES COOLER THAN NORMAL.

NEAR DAILY ROUNDS OF CONVECTION MAY EASE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A
POSSIBLE HEAT WAVE DEVELOPS HERE SOMETIME NEXT WEEK /3 CONSEC 90 OR
HIGHER/. HOWEVER...FAIRLY CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A STG SRN CANADIAN JET
MAY STILL KEEP CONVECTION ACTIVE. EVEN IF WE DONT HAVE A HEAT WAVE
NEXT WEEK...90 PLUS IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD FOR AT LEAST 1 OR 2 DAYS

&&

.AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TODAY...EXPECT EARLY MORNING MVFR-IFR IN LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG
TO DISSIPATE BY MID MORNING. EXPECT MAINLY VFR...THOUGH SOME SPOTS
WILL LOWER TO MVFR-IFR CIGS-VSBYS IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS.

TONIGHT...MVFR-IFR IN LEFTOVER CONVECTION...OTHERWISE MAINLY VFR.
MAY HAVE LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN PATCHY FOG...MAINLY IN THE VALLEYS
AFTER 03Z OR SO.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THURSDAY...VFR WITH POSSIBLE SW WIND GUSTS TO 30 KTS IN A HOT AIRMASS
THEN A LINE OF SCT TO BKN STG OR SVR TSTMS LATE IN THE DAY OR EVE
WITH BRIEF MVFR CONDS. AIR TRAVEL SLOWED BECAUSE OF AFTN/EVE STG
TSTMS BOS WESTWARD.

FRI AND SAT...IFR CONDS MAY DEVELOP VCNTY AND N OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. UNSURE ABOUT FRI BUT MORE CERTAIN FOR SATURDAY.

SUNDAY...VFR LIKELY BUT A CHANCE OF MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS EXISTS...
ESP SUN NIGHT...DEPENDING ON FRONTAL PLACEMENT AND ANY ASSOCIATED
SHOWERS AND TSTMS. THE IFR COULD DEVELOP SIMPLY ON RETURN FLOW OF
HUMID AIRMASS.

&&

.MARINE...
APPEARS THAT THE S-SW SWELLS ARE FINALLY SUBSIDING...THOUGH STILL
NOTING A FEW BUOYS STILL AROUND 5 FEET. HAVE KEPT THE SMALL CRAFT
GOING FOR THE WATERS FROM NANTUCKET TO MONTAUK THROUGH TODAY.

MODELS OVERFORECASTED THE SWELL HEIGHT FOR TODAY INTO THE WATERS BY
1-2 FEET. BASED ON THIS...ALONG WITH CONTINUED DOWNWARD TREND OF THE
SWELLS FROM THE BUOYS...WILL NOT BE ISSUING HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR
THE S FACING BEACHES. GUIDANCE GAVE MODERATE RISK FOR NANTUCKET AND
MARTHAS VINEYARD...SO WILL STILL MONITOR IN CASE SWELLS CAUSE A
PROBLEM THERE.

WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE S AND SW WITH SOME GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS
POSSIBLE ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS TONIGHT. MAY ALSO SEE SOME GUSTS TO
20 KTS THIS AFTERNOON WITH ANY CONVECTION THAT MAY REACH THE WATERS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS SOLID FOR THURSDAY...CONCEIVABLE A FEW NEAR
SHORE GUSTS TO LOW GALE FORCE IN THE AFTERNOON. NO SCA ISSUANCE ATTM
DUE TO CURRENT SCA SEGMENTS WHICH SOON ENDS. SCA SEAS WILL LIKELY
LINGER FRI AND POSSIBLY SAT.

SUNDAY...TRANQUIL...
